Descrizione

Hoe Park (locally just called The Hoe) is the larger of the two, the Southern side is mostly open grassland with some small trees and shrubs, the North/North Eastern sides have more mature/semi mature tree cover. On the Eastern edge is the Royal Citadel (built 1660) also surrounded by mature trees and shrubs beds. West Hoe Park is divided from it's larger neighbour by an old high quarry face, it is open at it's center with mature trees and shrubs beds along it's North and Eastern sides. Some birds you expect to see depending on season are Falco pellegrino, Tordo bottaccio, during spring migration Culbianco, Luì piccolo (also winters), Luì grosso, Capinera (also winters) and the occasional Falco pescatore can be seen flying over. In winter during freezing conditions on Dartmoor (just to the North) and surrounding areas Pispola, Piviere dorato, Pavoncella, Magnanina comune, Poiana have been recorded, also during winter Tordo sassello and Cesena are common visitors.

Informazioni aggiuntive

Unusual for a seaside location in South West England, Plymouth has no real beach, most people use the grassed areas as an alternative, therefore in nice weather especially in summer months these areas get VERY BUSY and hence less bird activity, so a visit earlier in the day may be more productive. On quieter days and especially towards the END OF SUMMER AND INTO AUTUMN/WINTER GULL FLOCKS ROOST in Hoe Park, carefull checking may produce more unusual species. For DISABLED and OTHER INFORMATION PRESS STARS ON MAP.
